Pressure Canner inspection #925223

Asked March 01, 2026, 10:01 AM EST

Hi, I have an American brand pressure canner that I bought used. It appears to be in good condition but since I have never used one I was wondering if the extension office has someone available that could inspect for me? Thank you. Lisa
